   > Question: Why not call couch_db:open/2 with Options including 
create_if_missing once, and if that fails with file_exists, just call it again 
without that option?
   
   Thank you @wohali your suggestion is great. Following works locally:
   ```
   diff --git a/src/mem3/src/mem3_util.erl b/src/mem3/src/mem3_util.erl
   index 2cd444d..71ef5b6 100644
